Luc Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is his most ambitious project to date, and since the filmmaker admits that it cost almost $200 million, there is a lot riding on this movie. The good news is the picture, a beautiful blend of visual spectacle and story, is a must see in 3D. Amidst all the immersive special effects and production design lies the top notch work delivered by Cara Delevigne who plays the confident and responsible heroine Laureline. Valerian (DeHaan) is an entirely different beast, as he has a bit of a devil may care attitude while also a wonderful working partner to Laureline (Valerian is also madly in love with her).
“I really wanted to have this tiny story of this real couple in this totally amazing story in space,” said Besson. “It’s very real in (a world) that is not. I want the salt and sugar in the same story”
While a prospective romance is a huge element of the film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is also a feast for the eyes. Click on the media bar to hear Besson talk about how Avatar influenced his film:
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets opens nationwide July 21.

There are many benefits to working on a Luc Besson film. Along with his eye-popping action sequences, Besson is also known for having strong heroines in his work (Leon, La Femme Nikita, Lucy), and Cara Delevigne is yet another addition to that list with her charismatic performance in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Since she and Valerian co-star Dane DeHaan have different approaches to acting, the pair were able to learn from one another.
“I kind of reminded Dane on how to laugh and to keep it fun and light,” said Delevigne. “We were so lucky on set. We got to have five day weeks we don’t get to do night shoots so we got to have a lot of spare time to explore the movie, the characters, but also Paris as well.”

Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne‘s epic Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets hits theaters at midnight tonight, and fans want to know if they should stay for and scene after the credits.
Well, there’s nothing that plays after the end credits roll!
Here’s a synopsis of the film: Valerian (DeHaan) and Laureline (Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.
Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock and Kris Wu also star. Be sure to check it out!.....»»

“It’s nice to not have to maintain your hair. We all get attachment to hair but it’s just hair. It grows back,” the 24-year-old actress expressed while promoting her latest film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
“I feel like I definitely was more aware that you could pretty much hide behind your hair, but it was really liberating to realize that you don’t need hair to be beautiful and to feel like a woman,” Cara concluded.
